Ceylon Curry Corner is a curry takeaway at 51 Brownston Street in central Wānaka, holding a perfect 5.0 rating from 43 Google reviews.
Curry is one of the few dishes that genuinely suits the takeaway format — the sauces hold up on the short trip home, and many taste deeper the next day. The real test of a good one is the rice as much as the curry: fresh, separate-grained and in sensible proportion to the sauce. Ask how the heat runs before you order, because medium means different things in different kitchens, and most cooks will adjust a dish if asked. In a town that swells each summer and over the ski season, regulars tend to order ahead in the early evening rather than front the walk-in queue.
A well-liked curry spot in the middle of Wānaka is a handy thing to know about, whether you have spent the day on the lake or the slopes.
